guide shoe of an elevator which is movable UNTTED STATES PATENT 7CHARLES G. SCHONDELMAIER, OF JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA, ASSIGNOR 0F ONE-HALFTO 3'. W. HAMANN, OF JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA.

LUBRICATOR.

To allwimm it may concern:

Beit known that 1, CHARLES G. SoHoN- DELMAIER, a citizen of the UnitedStates of America, residing at Jacksonville, in the county of Duval andState of Florida, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inLubricators; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear,and

elevator to permit it to move relatively thereto.

With these and other objects in view, the invention consists in thenovel construction, combination and arrangement of parts as will behereinafter specifically described, claimed and illustrated in theaccompanying drawings, in which:

Figure 1 represents a rear elevation of the improved lubricator appliedto an elevator,

Fig. 2 represents a horizontal sectional view through the guide of theelevator, showing the lubricator in top plan,

Fig. 3 represents a plan view of the absorbent element prior to beingfolded and inserted in the container,

Fig. 4 represents a plan view of the lubricator, the cover beingremoved. 7

Fig. 5 represents a vertical sectional view taken through thelongitudinal axis of the lubricator, Fig. 6 represents a verticalsectional view through the lubricator at right angles to Fig. 5, thecover being removed, and

Fig. 7 represents a partial perspective view of the holder removed fromthe lubri-Vv cator.

Referring to the drawings in detail, wherein similar reference numeralsdesignate corresponding parts throughout the several views, the numeral5indicatesthe over the track 13?, andis secured in positionupon theelevator by bolts 7. The im- Specification of Letters Patent.

' L Application filed February 7, 1917. Serial No. 147,125.

Patented'July 2,1918.

proved lubricator consists of a substantially inverted U-shaped support6, having inwardly directed lower terminals which embrace the base ofthe shoe 5 and are secured in position upon the elevator bythe securingbolts 7. A substantially U- shaped frame 9 is pivotally secured by abolt 8 to the inverted U-shaped member 6 and the bolt passesthrough theweb portions of the supporting member and frame.

The improved lubricator consists of a container 11, preferably-ofrectangular formation and provided upon the side walls thereof withlaterally projecting and apertured ears 10*, receiving bolts 10, wherebythe container is supported upon the upper outwardly directed terminalsof the U-shaped frame 9. The container is provided with an open upperend and the upper terminal of the front wall thereof is directedforwardly, as indicated at 12, and provided with a recess 13, which isof such width as to movably receive the guide 13 for the elevator.

A lubricating element constructed of absorbent material, and indicatedgenerally by the numeral 14, is arranged against the bottom and frontwall of the container 11 and one terminal thereof is enlarged andarranged within the forwardly directed portion 12 of the container. Theenlarged terminal of the lubricating element is recessed, as indicatedat 15, so as to receive the guide 13, and the opposite end is formedwith a longitudinal slit dividing it into bifurcations 16.

Acover 17 is positioned over the upper open end of the container 11 andis provided with a depending flange 18 overlying the walls of thecontainer. The front portion of the cover 17 is formed with a recess 17,registeringwith the recesses 13'and 15 in the front wallof the container11 and lubricating element 14, respectively.

A'vertically disposed rod-19 is rigidly secured to or formed integralwith the bottom of the container 11 and. extends upwardly'through anopening formed in the cover 17. The'upper terminal of the rod 19 isscrew threaded and receives a winged 17 to removablysecure the latter inposition upon the container.

I nut 20, which is adapted to engage the top front wall thereof, and theupper terminal is engaged by the cover 17. A pair of laterallyprojecting tongues 22 are formed integral with the upper end of theholder 21 and are received within slots 23 formed in the portion of thefront wall of the container extending above the forwardly directedportion 12 thereof, whereby the holder is supported in spaced relationto the bottom of the container.-

What I claim is l. A lubricator including a container, a holder securedinternally of the container to the front wall thereof, a forwardlydirected hollow extension communicating with said holder, an absorbentlubricating element fitted in the holder and having an enlarged terminalarranged in the forward extension, a removable cover fitted upon thecontainer and extension and confining the enlarged terminal of thelubricating element therein, said lubricating element, forwardlydirected extension and cover having vertical recesses therein to receivean elevator guide, and means removably securing said cover in position.

2. In combination, an elevator shoe, a guide received within said shoe,a frame se cured to the shoe, a lubricant container pivotally secured tothe frame on an axis extending parallel with the guide, and a recessedlubricating element arranged in the container and engaging the guide.

3. A lubricator including a container, a holder of less width than andarranged within said container, a forwardly directed hollow extensioncommunicating with said container, and an absorbent lubricating elementconfined in the holder and having an enlarged terminal received withinsaid extension.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
